We sympathise with the frustrations felt by everyone who had planned their return to singing. We're extremely concerned that amateur singing has been singled out by DCMS for such unreasonable & unworkable restrictions. We, Making Music, RSCM, ISM and all our partner organisations in Singing Network UK (SNUK) have been working to shape a response and to help everyone involved in singing play their part in this campaign.
That indoor singing activity be brought in line with the guidance for other non-professional music activity and indoor organised sports activity, as was the case between August and December 2020.
See our campaign page for more about what we're doing and how you can help.
